On Saturday 14 November 2026, Luxembourg Police reported two drink-driving incidents overnight, one near the Knuedler car park in Luxembourg-Ville and another on the A13 motorway towards Pétange.
According to the report, at around 02:20, a police patrol noticed a vehicle approaching the barrier at the entrance to the Knuedler car park at high speed, nearly damaging it. The driver then reversed and repeatedly struggled to insert a ticket into the machine.
Suspecting that the driver was intoxicated, officers asked to see the vehicle documents and driving licence. They noticed a strong smell of alcohol, and a preliminary breathalyser test returned a positive result. Police imposed a driving ban.
In a separate incident at around 02:50, a police patrol travelling along the A13 motorway from Esch-sur-Alzette towards Pétange was overtaken by a speeding vehicle near the Ehlerange tunnel.
The driver continued speeding through the tunnel and along the A13 towards Pétange, with officers unable to catch up. Following a radio alert, another patrol stopped the vehicle near the Biff roundabout in Pétange.
Officers noticed a smell of alcohol, and a breathalyser test returned a positive result. Police confiscated the driver's licence.
